[Mailman-Users] "Members" vs. "Subscribers"

2002-07-16 Thread Bob Weissman
This is a linguistic subtlety in the English version of Mailman. Maliman refers to list subscribers as "members," for example when rejecting a post from a "non-member" to a "members-only" list. This terminology is confusing in some circumstances. Here's why. I run lists for a professional, non
